The best way to make things work in both major browsers is to avoid non-standard
extensions of *both* major browsers. Go with HTML 4.0 standard, in other words,
like William suggested.

I personally avoid even official HTML 4.0 if it isn't supported by *both* the
major browsers: Netscape 4.x didn't support inline frames, even though they were
part of the HTML standard when those browsers were introduced, so I don't use
inline frames. (Does Netscape 6.x support them? No matter, there are still too
many 4.x users out there.)

Yep. If you do it right, it'll look *different* in different browsers, but it'll
work OK.
